Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomes 13q and 17p and mutations of the retinoblastoma (Rb) and p53 gene were studied in 28 tumors from 22 patients with chondrosarcomas. Allele loss at polymorphic loci on 13q was found in 36% of tumors and the frequency was much higher in grade II (56%) or h...
